Read full description

Alarm Deck uses Apple’s native alarm engine. Alarms ring in Silent Mode and Focus, with snooze on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Each group holds as many alarms as you want. GROUPS Clock has one list. You need more than one life. Work, medication, and weekends each get a group. One switch turns a whole group off — every alarm’s own setting is remembered. REPEAT Set every alarm in a group to weekdays, weekends, or every day. MORE TIMES Stack extra times on one alarm without building a new group. 7:00, 7:05, 7:10 in a few taps. Always free. PAUSE Pause a group until the morning you’re back. Alarms resume that day even if you never open the app. Or touch and hold the morning notification to silence that group for today. NATIVE • Rings on silent, in Focus, and after restarts • Snooze from Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, or Live Activity • Labels, 1–15 minute snooze, repeat days • Five original tones, or the system default No account. No ads. Alarms stay on your iPhone. Purchase, device, and usage data are collected and not linked to your identity. See App Privacy. Requires iOS 26.1 or later.
